...UNESCO awarded its annual prize for combatting illiteracy to a young Tanzanian girl from the Tabora Girls School. At the initiative of the Headmistress, a Swede, the pupils had undertaken to teach illiterates in the area. It is as unlikely that present programs will wipe out illiteracy in the rest of the world, as that these girls will alphabetize Tanzania.

Cambridge City Councillor Alfred E. Vellucci set the tone by calling it the "filthiest junk I have ever laid eyes on." News dealers heard a warning in this...
...rest of the cast--the characters with which the Author is working--share one general flaw that director Christopher Arnold could have eliminated with a firmer hand. Their readings are all uncertain, with no one quite sure just which words they should be emphasizing, which laughs they should be expecting and which pauses they should be holding. John Brady, as the police superintendent, is particularly afflicted...
